Magnetism and magnetotransport in the kagome antiferromagnet Mn3Ge

We perform classical Monte Carlo and stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert simulations to study the temperature-dependent magnetism of the kagome antiferromagnet Weyl metal Mn3Ge, and we find that a long-range chiral order sets in at a transition temperature well below the Neel temperature (TN). Based on the crystalline symmetries imposed by the chiral magnetic order, we argue for the presence of multiple isoenergetic Weyl nodes (nodes that are at the same energy and with a congruent Fermi surface around them) near the chemical potential. Using the semiclassical Boltzmann equations, we show that the combined contribution to the net longitudinal magnetoconductance (LMC) and the planar Hall conductance (PHC) from tilted Weyl nodes can lead to signatures that are qualitatively distinct from that of a single pair of Weyl nodes. In particular, we show that magnetic orders with different chiralities can give rise to different periods in LMC and PHC as a function of the in-plane magnetic field direction. This is ultimately related to differences in the symmetry-imposed constraints on the Weyl nodes.
